chilblains
inflammation of limb extremities caused by exposure to cold and wet conditions

Though I had desired so much to see London, when I arrived in it I was unfortunately unable to gratify my curiosity; for I had at this time the chilblains to such a degree that I could not stand for several months, and I was obliged to be sent to St. Georges Hospital. - "The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano" by Olaudah Equiano or Gustavus Vassa
